Official: Samsung to Unveil the ‘Samsung Note 7’ on August 2

Three-weeks from now, South Korean tech firm, Samsung Corp. will be unpacking its latest phablet flagship Note-series, the “Samsung Note 7” on August 2 at an event in New York at 11:00 am EDT (6:00 pm East African Time).

According to Zdnet, the company on Tuesday sent out invites for an August 2 launch event, and it actually named the device. To align the new Note with the other Galaxy devices, the company has skipped the number six this year.

However, we’ve probably seen leaked images of the Note-7 all around the web, its specs, and other possible features, but we’ve to wait a bit longer to see what the company will server us on the table.

“With added functionality of the S Pen and large screen, the Galaxy Note 7 is a powerful instrument for achievement and self-expression, and is made for those who want to get the most from their phones – and their lives. Galaxy Note 7 will help people do more in work, at home and everywhere in between. We can’t wait to tell you more about it!”

“First and foremost though, you might be curious as to why it’s called Galaxy Note 7 instead of Galaxy Note 6. There are a couple reasons why. First, the Galaxy Note 7 will complement our Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and unify our product portfolio. Second, the Galaxy Note 7 will minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone.”

The Galaxy Note 7 to be unveiled in August will have upgraded software and “significantly improved” note features, Samsung Mobile Chief, DJ Koh confirms.
